From the South Orange Rescue Squad:
We are very excited to be holding this community event for the 2nd year. This one is shaping up to be even bigger and better than last year, with free food trucks such as Waffle de Lys and Everything About Crêpes, plus free face painting and activities for kids.
Run the 5K (or an optional 1.3 mile walking route), and then join us at the end where kids and adults alike can tour the ambulances and our headquarters and learn about Emergency Medical Services in South Orange and Maplewood.
9 AM: 5K Run / Walk
10 AM: Kids Fun Run (free!)
10:30 AM: EMS Community Open House (free!)
FREE FOOD & DRINKS, ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS
